@joe to my business associates, but you can call me Joe Ortiz.

The Facts

Listen to the gossip.

I work in the IT/Marketing/Social fields, a Culture Vulture in heart and an one part geek in a all-rounder way!

Anything new? ☎

Matinee (1993) is a misunderstood movie for some but I actually enjoy it.

Also see the sub-film Mant! for context.

@Streakmachine It also aged well as the years roll by, as some theme are still relevant in lots of ways.

I kind of feel a bit bummed that my summer break is nearly over as I'm going to be on the road home soon.

A few more fun things to do before then, making the most of it in the process.

Fun fact: it hasn't been legally available for decades since the VHS days due to the dreaded music rights issues and there was bootleg copies in the wild.

It's a iconic film that is very underrated.

It's available on YouTube [youtube.com] if you want to watch it, but it's better to get it on 4K and Blu-ray which is available on Vinegar Syndrome.

Little Darlings is the perfect summer camp/teen sex movie.

I'm Glad the music rights have been cleared up so it's now released more broadly, including on home video.

As I mentioned on the Elephant site earlier, I saw a Tesla Cybertruck in the wild today and boy it looks hideous!

I feel no sympathy for those who brought this monstrous and unethical vehicle from a shitty man and said company.

@mandy I wonder if they had a recording of the performance? I like that symphonies do gaming music.

It was a nice little device, although I wish they open sourced the casting code.

A federal judge rules that Google's payments to make its search engine the default on smartphone web browsers violates antitrust law [techmeme.com]

Huge breaking news since this could change everything, although I can expect to be appealed.

Glad to report that the 4K UHD version is very good and has a healthy encode and presentation.

Paid only $15 for it at the end of the day.

A steal!

I went to Barnes & Noble today to pick up my Criterion sale haul and I hope to find the only 4K copy of Mean Girls (2004) in stock and I didn't know that they're running a Paramount 50% off sale on select titles and this is one of them.
